this, click here, or There are just too many "Dolphin Songs" to do this, do you have just a bit of the lyrics if none of the above are correct? There are more in my search engine. |

28 Jul 00 - 04:08 AM (#266418) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Dolphin Song - sung by Claudi From: Joe Offer It's on Claudia's "Midwestern Heart" album, and I guess my ex-girlfriend ended up with the CD. I wonder if her husband would mind if I borrowed it... |

28 Jul 00 - 04:27 AM (#266423) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Dolphin Song - sung by Claudi From: GUEST,Auxiris Hello. . . is the chorus like this:
She in the sea, she in the sea, she in the sea is a dolphin; If so, I know the tape is around here somewhere, but I'll need a day or so to locate it, if no one comes up with the rest of the lyrics before then. All I can remember is the chorus at the moment (and probably not word-perfect). . . memory fails. cheers, Aux |

28 Jul 00 - 05:01 AM (#266432) Subject: ADD: Dolphin Story - sung by Claudi From: Joe Offer Well, I decided not to try the ex-girlfriend route, but I did find a cassette my baby brother made of the album. I had trouble with parts, but here's my best guess. Great story. Can anybody offer corrections? -Joe Offer- Dolphin Story (Claudia Schmidt, 1981) She in the sea, she in the sea, She in the sea is a dolphin. She must be, be in the sea And only as a dolphin comes to me Oh, the waves, they soared and swelled As they took her in that day, Through the power of the words of the jealous one Who chose to have his way Long ago, when the earth was new And all that man lived on it God placed there a fine young one To love and care upon it. He placed her there along man's side And she grew so gracefully That God himself, he fell in love And it drove him mad with jealousy And the young earth grew and children too Were the fruit of new fertility And the girl and boy were a light of joy In the shadow of God's jealousy Mother, father, watched by God Gained beauty in their passion And he knew he'd have the woman's heart By force or other fashion And he found her all alone one day, And spoke of his enamorings She shrank and called to the one she loved With wild and frightened clamorings She in the sea, she in the sea, She in the sea is a dolphin. She must be, be in the sea And only as a dolphin comes to me Oh, the waves, they soared and swelled As they took her in that day, Through the power of the words of the jealous one Who chose to have his way God cried, if I am refused, Then shall your love be blighted And shall you lose your woman's ways And from the man be slighted Monstrous shapes shall you assume In the dark and restless sea. And your only lasting link Is as man's friend for all eternity The he took her down upon the beach And he loved her without shame Crying, you the Dolphin shall be called And your children be the same She in the sea, she in the sea, She in the sea is a dolphin. She must be, be in the sea And only as a dolphin comes to me Oh, the waves, they soared and swelled As they took her in that day, Through the power of the words of the jealous one Who chose to have his way JRO |
28 Jul 00 - 12:22 PM (#266640) Subject: Lyr Add: DOLPHIN STORY (Claudia Schmidt) From: GUEST,Auxiris Hello again; found the tape, had a listen and heard it as follows:
DOLPHIN STORY
She in the sea, she in the sea,
Oh, the waves, they soared and swelled
Long ago, when the earth was new
He placed a woman by man's side
And the young earth grew and children too
Mother, father, watched by God
And he found her all alone one day,
She in the sea, she in the sea,
Oh, the waves, they soared and swelled
God cried, if I am refused,
A monstrous shape shall you assume
The he took her down upon the beach
She in the sea, she in the sea,
Oh, the waves, they soared and swelled Hope this helps a bit. You're right Joe; it's a great song. . . I heard Claudia perform it shortly after she'd written it. Cheers, Aux |
